The Marine Corps, the smallest U.S. military force, has plans for a big overhaul designed to address its lack of diversity and problem with retaining troops.
The goal that's driving what amounts to a cultural shift within the service, is for the Marines "to reflect America, to reflect the society we come from," Gen. David Berger, commandant of the Marine Corps, said in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition.
It's not a matter of being politically correct or "woke," he said.
The core of America's strength lies in its diversity, Berger said, adding that the same is true for the military.
"Our advantage militarily is on top of our shoulders," he said. "It's not actually our equipment. We are better than anybody else, primarily because we don't all think exactly alike. We didn't come from the same backgrounds."
His new plan, titled Talent Management 2030, outlines measures the Corps will implement to boost recruitment and improve career flexibility. About 75% of troops leave the Marine Corps at the end of their four-year term, the highest turnover rate among the military services.

Isn’t Gen. Furberger the one who banned all things referring to the CSA?
They aren’t military.
RE: Marines defeated in war game....
Infuriating to let the pansies take over running our defense. The Dems will be hugging a puppy and a fuzzy blanket in a safe space if war breaks out.
Lemme guess...”white rage” is the only problem facing the Marine Corps today?
The core of America’s strength can only lie in it’s unity, like all great nation-states of the past— unity of belief, core values, and cultural norms. From the time of the tower of Babel onwards, diversity has led to the ruin of empires. To think otherwise, for a military officer (who should have at least studied some military history) indicates a profound lack of judgement and wisdom.
Bull$hit of the highest order.
The officer corps was purged during the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
The only officers we have left are those who would salute the transgenderizing of the military.
Chesty was the boss “the poor bastards have us surrounded”. Maybe el comandante needs me to re-up. I guess I can instruct in how to kick diverse butt as well as any other size/kind/color. He’s giving me flashes of a warm and fuzzy pugil stick-——been there, done that——semper fi
That’s what I was thinking: what in God’s name is the Commandant of the Marine Corps doing talking to NPR????
Pink camo and free breast implants for every swinging ****.
BAMs still have to pay the co-pay.
Can't get much more diverse than the old Austro-Hungarian Empire. Now, THERE was a hodge-podge of cultures, ethnic mixtures, and "nationalities". And any military man worth his salt should recognize what happened to them ...
trannies! Reminding me of Rush’s 1st Amazon battalion!
“It’s not a matter of being politically correct or “woke,” he said.”
Oh yes it is. He’s just competing to be the wokest of the generals to replace Gen. Millicent when he’s found blue and face down on his desk.
We need Gunny Highway to come in and take over....
$150,000 a year to bring CRT to the Marines.
China realized the way to defeat the United States is to have them defeat themselves.
The Marine Corpse(sp) is swallowing Seaman like it’s going out of style.
Shared values and commons goals are our strength. The "Diversity is our strength" BS was conjured up by leftists who know it's a lie and whose goal it is to weaken this nation.

Instead, it's a matter of being politically correct or "woke."
Also, it's about deliberately losing.
